TECHNIQUES/METHODS IN TEACHING SPEAKING
ACCURACY AND FLUENCY IN SPEAKING SKILL
Generally, speaking can be said as the crucial part in teaching learning
process because the audience will not understand the meaning if the speaker are
not be able to transfer the meaning of what are being he saying accurately. In
speaking, we will face two words “accuracy and fluency”. They are two
importance things to support the development of student speaking ability.
1. Accuracy
Accuracy in speaking skills is the student ability to speak in conversation
using correct grammar and vocabulary. In this case, the student should be able
to use the correct component in speaking, such as: vocabulary, grammatical
features and pronunciation. If the student can use the correct component of
speaking they will be easy to say what they what to say in correct pronunciation.
In other to achieve the best result in speaking, as the teacher you should be able
to improve your student ability first especially in vocabulary, grammatical features
and pronunciation. Finally, you can evaluate your student by do the conversation
as feedback the material.
THE CHARACTERISTICS OF ACCURACY

It means the teacher give more portion to explain the basic of speaking skill.
 Language for display

It means, language can be used to show the material that is being learning.
 Language for knowledge
It means, language can be used to improve the student knowledge or the
knowledge of student will be inclined to language usage.
 Attention is given to language
It means, the material that the teacher and the student are being learning is
focused for language development.
2. Fluency
Generally, fluency in speaking skill is the ability of student to speak or talk in
conversation easily, smoothly and correctly. It is the main achievement in
learning English. To get the fluency in speaking skill is not simple. It depends on
the method or strategies of teacher in teaching learning process.
THE CHARACTERISTICS OF FLUENCY
 Usage real life situation
It means, the student can use their speaking skill in their own life in order to
practice their fluency.
 Language for communication
Like real life characteristic, the student too should be able using the language
to communicate with their relation by using speaking skill.

 Attention is given to meaning

accuracy and fluency can be said as the feedback in measuring the achievement
of student ability.
ENCCOURAGING THE STUDENT TO SPEAK
In teaching speaking skill, the teachers are often difficult to encourage
their student to speak or pay their participation in teaching learning process. The
following suggestions are intended to help the teacher creates a classroom in
which students can feel comfortable, secure, willing to take risks, and ready to
test and share their ideas. There are some ways that the teacher can do to
increase the participations of student in order to speak in discussion:
1. Encourage your students to learn each other's names. Generally,
Students are more likely to participate in class if they feel they are among
friends rather than strangers; so at the beginning of the term, ask students
to introduce themselves and describe their primary interests or background
in the subject. These introductions may also give you some clues about the
discussion that you want to give and it will be interesting for your student.
The teacher can also use "The First Day of Class" where this way can
helping students get to know one another.
2. Arrange the seating to promote discussion. If your room has movable
chairs, ask students to sit in a semicircle position, so that they can see
one another and it can make your student more interesting to talk with

their relation. If appropriate, ask students to print their names on name
cards and display them on their desk or the table. According the research,
shows that people tend to talk to the person who is sitting opposite them,
on the contrary, the people who are sitting next to each other tend not to
talk to one another. So, we can encourage the student to speak by
arranging the student chairs.
3. Allowing your class time to warm up before you start the
discussion. The teacher can arriving in the class two or three minutes
early and make an informal discussion with the student. It will make the
student feel comfortable to talk with you. Besides that, you can open the
class with a few minutes of conversation about greeting includes the
materials that you want to teach, their condition or their activities.
4. Limiting your own comments. According the research, the most of time
in discussion is dominated by the teacher. They tell the material too much
without giving the turn for the student to speak or share their ideas. To
avoid this condition, the teacher can divide the allocation time when the
turn of student and when the turn of teacher to speak in the class. So, the
student will get the chance to share or speak what they want to say.
5. Giving the student reward. By giving the reward, student will give more
their participation and trying to join more deeply in the discussion. You can
imagine in this way, the teacher make the competition in the class where
among the student will compete to get the reward as fair as possible.

TECHNIQUES/METHODS IN TEACHING SPEAKING
As we know, the success of teaching speaking depends on the technique that
the teacher uses in the class. If the teacher use the suitable technique in
teaching, the student will be able improve their speaking skill easily. So, there are
the techniques that the teacher can apply in the classroom:
1. Giving information
In this stage, the teachers explain the material that they want to teach in the
class. With giving the information, the students are able to imagine and guessing
the material that they will be received by the teacher.
2. Survey
It’s can the teacher do by giving the student quisionare. Where, the
quisionare consist about the weakness and the strength of the material. Besides
that, survey can give the teacher a clue to choose the suitable method in
teaching learning process.
3. Role play
In this step, the teacher explains the activity rules when teaching learning
process in the classroom. As the result, the teacher can decide the suitable
activities to improve the student ability, especially in speaking skill.
Exp: The teacher use “pair work” activities. They ask their student to make
a conversation with their friend in one table. It is including asking question and
giving information. They will be able to practice their speaking skill in there.

4. Discussion
Generally, discussion is the effective activity or strategy in improving the
student ability because all components in the classroom (the teacher and
student) can play the role in teaching learning process. They will practice their
speaking skill with their relation regularly.
5. Answer and question
Answer and question are the activities that will influences the development
of the student ability because they will respond what the teacher who ask to them
and they also can ask the teacher if they face the strength of the material.
